Comstock Defines Race In VA-10 With Hard Hitting TV Ad

The campaign to re-elect Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (VA-10) has released their first TV ad for the 2018 midterms. The ad is centered on a straight comparison between the Democratic nominee, State Senator Jennifer “I am a tax and spend liberal” Wexton (D-Loudoun), and the pragmatic and conservative Comstock.

The ad opens touting Comstock’s legislative work to ensure that taxes are lowered and jobs are created to help her Northern Virginia constituents through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – which has led to, among many strong economic indicators, record-low unemployment, robust growth in the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), and increased consumer confidence. On the other hand, Wexton’s plan for an “across the board” tax raise on 90 percent of Americans is exposed as she frequently proclaims that she would vote to rollback the federal tax overhaul if elected to Congress.

Moreover, with Wexton at the helm, the child tax credit will be slashed in half, and overall she pledges to raise taxes on families in the Northern Virginia area by an average of $2,400.

Of course, this is no surprise to her supporters as Wexton has been committed to raising taxes at every opportunity she has had during her career in the Virginia State Senate. The Fairfax legislator supported over 30 – yes, 30 – state tax increases. In the Democrat primary she famously described herself as “a tax and spend liberal” who was “loathe” to cut spending.

The Virginia Progressive Legislative Alert Network (VAPLAN) has voted Wexton has the “most progressive” legislator in the Commonwealth with a perfect “scorecard” for her voting record in the 2018 General Assembly session for liberal policies.

The ad says that voters in Northern Virginia should “choose a fighter for Virginia.” Comstock has repeatedly won the congressional district during times of national Democratic waves. The Republican incumbent has been victorious even though the district has drifted to the left because Comstock knows that “all politics is local,” and she does not adhere to national trends like Wexton does, who has been dubbed as the “Resistance Candidate.”

Comstock has fought successfully for tax cuts, jobs programs, education initiatives, funding for task forces dedicated to apprehending gangs such as MS-13, solutions to the area’s opioid epidemic, and rooting out sexual harassment in Washington.

As the ad says: “The choice is clear.” For the congressional district’s constituents, that could not be more true.

Wexton Vows To Punish Families; Raise Taxes If Elected

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has released a new video entitled: “Jennifer Wexton Will Raise Your Taxes.” Built on the foundation of the NRCC’s ad targeting Nancy Pelosi about her proposed “roll back” of the Republican-led Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it outlines Wexton’s plan of a congressional agenda of big taxes and big government spending.

Even Wexton does not refute the claims; she is completely on board with Pelosi, who claims she will take back the position of speaker if the Democrats gain control of the House of Representatives in November.

People have said she is a quintessential “tax and spend liberal,” a record she has proven in her years in the Virginia State Senate. At a recent appearance, she even said it out loud to the crowd of onlookers, “I’m a tax and spend liberal, right?”

Wexton says that the first thing she will do upon arriving in Washington next year will be to “roll back the tax cuts.” She plans on doing all of this despite the fact that her constituents in Loudoun County will greatly benefit from the federal tax overhaul.

As NRCC spokeswoman Maddie Anderson says, “Self-proclaimed tax and spend liberal Jennifer Wexton is right on message when it comes to walking lock-step with her role model, Nancy Pelosi. If she somehow fumbled her way to Congress, Wexton and Pelosi would be quite the tax-raising dynamic duo.”

As more businesses have dolled out bonuses that number one, two, and three thousand dollars each, raised their minimum wages, and have endeavored on one of the largest hiring sprees in memory, Wexton’s claims of a better America that means higher taxes is without evidence.

The reason why there is record-low unemployment – sitting at a stable 3.8 percent – is because companies are more in control of their profits.

However, in Wexton’s America, people have money shaken out of their pockets by the big liberal bullies who wish nothing more than to gain further control and spend the U.S. into oblivion.
